Arrange the following in the order of decreasing connotation.

(A) Polygon

(B) Rectangle

(C) Geometry

(D) Square
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct option is D

Decreasing connotation means arranging terms from the most specific to the most general.

Let us analyze the terms:

Square: A specific type of rectangle with all sides equal and all angles right.

Rectangle: A type of polygon with four sides and four right angles.

Polygon: A broad category of closed figures with straight sides.

Geometry: A branch of mathematics that includes the study of polygons and many other figures.

So, from most specific to most general, the correct order is:

Square → Rectangle → Polygon → Geometry

Therefore, the correct arrangement is:

D – B – A – C
